The last movie you saw

[plained]

lots of words worth reading in this thread!

Echelon Conspiracy - 4/10

[Hannibal]

Knowing: 6/10 My extremely low expectations were exceeded. The ending was a little slapdash but I went with it. Wooden acting from Cage didn't really hurt the film (to my surprise).

[GONNAFISTYA]

Suspense, mystery, intrigue, unexpected cameos, car chases, gun-violence, navel-piercings, stolen police cars and a tazer to the face....The Hangover has it all.
8/10. Fucking hilarious.

Get blasted while watching this.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Price - 7/10

Not the best Potter film, lots missed out. I am glad they are splitting the last film into 2 though...makes sense as there is lots they can't miss out of the final one.

[Unisaw]

Beowulf. 8/10.

Not my genre but I enjoyed it.

I've got Predator on DVD. It's still awesome today, one of my favorite flicks. The DVD extras are worth checking out too.

Unfortunately the transfer on the blu-ray version is craptastic. I think I got the last DVD "collector's edition" of Predator that they released 2 yrs or so ago...and the blu-ray is not appreciably better (picture wise). This is a movie that deserved a good treatment on BR and didn't get it.

A shame it didn't.

I can't add much since I don't have a BR player (since I don't have a decent tv yet), but this was one of the films I was eventually looking forward to watching on my as-yet-unrealized home theater.

Mutant Chronicles - 4/10

Heh, seems like someone made a low budget indie movie out of the old Swedish pen & paper RPG Mutant Chronicles. And managed to get John Malkovich, Ron Perlman and Thomas Jane to star in it. Although Malkovich more or less just phones in his tiny role, Perlman does the professional thing and at least tries to be convincing, while Jane puts in a rather wooden performance.

Sure, the bad script (think of it as Gears of War meets The Dirty Dozen) and the unconvincing CGI (blood splatter is Photoshopped into it afterwards) don't really help, but hey, it's not a big Hollywood production (rather a very low budget Isle of Man one), so I do have to give it one extra point for effort.

Harry Potter 6: if you liked the books (and the other films, I guess) then you'll love this, if not don't go.
of the HP films I think this captured the balance between school/humor and adventure best. sure they changed some things and left some parts out, and they removed a relatively important fight and added a completely trivial one. it still gets the main points across and successfully avoids getting bogged down in a couple dozen minor characters who aren't *really* important to the central conflict(s). gg.

harry potter and the one where almost nothing happens. 3/10
the missus is a big fan of the books, she wasn't very impressed with it and complained about a bit where the ginner family's house is attacked - i've never read any of them and thought it was shit. gary oldman and the prison of assbang-something-or-other was alright, all the others (including this one) are boring as hell.

would totally agree that if you haven't read the books, this isn't worth seeing. if you have read the books then presumably you can gloss over the glacial pacing and characters and plot threads that come and go with no explanation.

[menkent]

it is, after all, part 6. i'm not sure you can fault the film for not knowing the characters.
that attack on the house is the one really baffling part of the film. i had the impression that they finished it, realized it was too short and didn't have enough action, then did that because the set was easy compared to the battle in the school that they'd inexplicably cut out.

[seremtan]

has anyone seen 'che' with benicio del toro? on a whim i just picked up the DVD for a shufty, and because del toro is always good value

half-blood prince will wait until it comes out on DVD and the local library has it so i can rent it. no way i'm paying good money to sit thru 2 1/2 hours of that shit

Yes, fantastic movie. You'd have to be a moron not to have seen it yet.

[seremtan]

well, it just so happens i've just watched part one, prior to reading your post, ergo i fall outside your definition of moron. thank god for that. i don't think my e-dignity could have withstood the shame

Resident Evil: Extinction 6/10

I heard the movie was absolute shit and just never got around to seeing it until last night. I actually enjoyed the movie although it could have used A LOT more gore.

Also, I only saw like, three resident evil creatures in the entire movie. What's up with that?

Che was a murdering cunt.

[seremtan]

also, anyone heard of this?

http://www.metro.co.uk/metrolife/film/a ... _page_id=9

A prequel to the trilogy has been filmed in Britain and will be available free on the internet from next year.

The Hunt For Gollum cost just £3,000 to put together, compared with the £190million spent on making the three The Lord Of The Rings films.

trailer looks pretty polished

[scared?]

Che was a murdering cunt.

he gladly killed defectors and the like...thats more like dedication...

[Captain]

Che was a murdering cunt.

Che executed the corrupt politicians, murderers, and puppets who served Batista's US-backed dictatorship. Batista was the murdering cunt who killed civilians at random, not Che.

PS. fuck u...

"Hatred as an element of struggle; unbending hatred for the enemy, which pushes a human being beyond his natural limitations, making him into an effective, violent, selective, and cold-blooded killing machine. This is what our soldiers must become…"

Che liked killing and he personally was responsible for thousands of executions, some he conducted personally, even against children. All communists say the same bullshit when they execute innocent people. "Informant", "Traitor", "CIA", just like the Khmer Rouge.

Harry Potter 6

I thought this was the best movie yet. I generally dislike Harry Potter action scenes (I think they are poorly written in the books). The best part of the books/movies I think are the times they have in the castle, the adventure, and the discovery. The action scenes are boring. Thankfully this movie didn't have too much of that and had more of the other stuff. I don't have a score, but I liked it.

edit: also, im not sure why people keep complaining about having stuff in the movie thats not in the book or vice versa. movies that try to copy a book completely generally fail i think.

really? he killed children?

By survivor witness accounts. Is it really surprising?
"To send men to the firing squad, judicial proof is unnecessary...These procedures are an archaic bourgeois detail. This is a revolution! And a revolutionary must become a cold killing machine motivated by pure hate. We must create the pedagogy of the The Wall!"

88 Minutes - 6/10

Fun to watch but was pretty predictable. I called the ending within the first 20 minutes.
